A Good Work.

Mrs. A. S. Steele addressed an audi
ence of women at the North church
vestry Friday afternoon and a union
service at the South church Sunday
evening, giving an account of the work
of the Steele Home for needy children
in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Her story
was told in a straightforward manner
and was exceedingly interesting. First
employed by the Home Missionary as
ISOLATION, Mrs. Steele soon became i'm
pressed with the need of home for
orphan, sick or needy colored children.
The home, built by Mrs. Steele with
her own property, first had three child
rem today it has 200. Hardly had the
new home become we'll established and
the prejudices of the Southerners over
come when the buildings were fred by
the Klu- Klux and burned. The peO-
pie of Chattanooga subscribed $4,000
for the new building that now contains
the 200 children of the home. Mrs
Steele told many interesting and pa
thetic stories of her experiences, which
included an account of her own arrest
followed by twO-days' trial by the
SOutherners, and of reforming the vic.
ious and helping the deserving il
which she was engaged.

St. Johnsbury at Barton Fair.

St. Johnsbury was well represented
at the Barton fair. The Monitor saws
that GA. l.. Bailey of st. Johnsbury
who was exhibiting his instruments at
several other fairs, had a piano and
three organs here. He is very large
dealer and has probably sold more Es-
ty organs than any party in Vermont
His music rooms at st. JOhnsbury and
Burlington contain nearly all the
standard instruments made in the
country" The Monitor also says that
"amOng the most attractive things
about floral hall was a display of floral
EN- blems, notices, bouquets, and flu
neral pieces shown by G. F. Gibbs of ST.
Johnsbury, florist. Among the things
shown was pillow inscribed with the
words, "At Rest" another one in i'm
mOrtelles of bright cOlOrs, sleaves oil
Italian wheat, etc. Mr.. Gibbs is dOin
large business, and is a perfectly re
| liable man.
